Conducting proper arrangements for a move have a lot to do with long term planning. When you have your moving plan in place at least three to five weeks in advance, you will be able to make important decisions about packing, sorting and preparing your goods.
Deciding on a Moving Strategy
Moving companies will offer you various options for your coming NJ move, which include: full or partial packing, storage options and a separate packing day.
The first stage then, is to decide on your moving strategy.
- Are you going to do the packing by yourself or will you be interested in the movers doing some of it for you?
- Are you interested in full packing services?
- Will you be available to receive delivery on the other end or will you need to delay the shipment in storage until your new location becomes available?
- If you want to pack yourself, where will you get your boxes and packing supplies from?
- Are you going to need a separate day of packing, done entirely by the movers?
- Which items will you be keeping and moving and which items will you be throwing away or donating?
When you have answered all those questions it will be much easier for you to make careful and timely preparations.
We recommend that you create an actual checklist which contains all the questions above and other questions that are relevant to your particular move.
Your first decisions should be about inventory and packing. Create an inventory checklist that will help you to decide what you want to keep and what you want to throw away or donate. Once you are sure of your moving inventory, it will be much easier for you to reach decisions about packing and inform your relocation specialist accordingly.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
